xCloud, Cloudflare and Patchstack
Does anyone else use these three together? I noticed that Patchstack isn't able to sync with Cloudflare in place. Has anyone managed a setup on the Cloudflare free plan that allows Patchstack to sync automatically without turning off Bot Fight Mode?
I use that. I suspect, you need to explicitly allow Patchstack in Cloudflare. I do the same with xCloud on my servers. I do not open any ports even not for SSH which blocks xCloud Management. So I needed to allow xCloud to access my servers and the same is true for Patchstack. Check this page for any IPs to whitelist: https://docs.patchstack.com/faq-troubleshooting/technical/list-of-ip-addresses-that-patchstack-uses/
André Daus Are you using a paid tier of Cloudflare? I've added all of Patchstack's IP's via a list and a custom rule and am still running into this problem on the free plan. Apparently custom rules don't apply to bot fight mode.
A SMITH I am on Cloudflare Free plans for all my domains. But I set up my whole systems without bot fight mode since it also blocks Claude, ChatGPT, et. al. However, try using the legacy IP Access Rules. That should allow access before the bot fight mode kicks in.
I just checked. Try this link: https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/security/security-rules/ip-access-rules/create
If you have more than one account or zone, you first need to choose them. It will redirect you to the correct page.
André Daus That worked! You're a lifesaver!! Thanks so much!
A SMITH awesome, glad it helped!
